Why am I building a new website?

(It's freezing and snowy here. The wind blew so hard that the power went out this morning.  I love that we are getting all this snow but I didn't like the spooky sound of the howling wind and the power going out)

I've hired some help in building a new website. It's making me ask myself over and over, 

"Why am I building a website?" 

It's been really good for me to go through the process of building this site and defining what I do and what my message is and what my mission is. 

It's been uncomfortable and unnerving but once I do my work I feel so much better. I'm just going to keep walking ahead and try to follow the little ideas that come to me and not get lost in uncertainty or paralyzed by my desire for perfection.

I would prefer to be perfect and never make mistakes and never look stupid.

This can be a problem since I'm not perfect and I do make lots of mistakes and that can look stupid.

I have gotten busy with my Reiki healing business.

 Did you know I'm a Reiki practitioner?

 I know I've blogged a little about it but not as much as I could. It really is the most exciting and wonderful thing happening in my own life right now.

 In October I got my business licence, since then things have picked up.

 I have had many powerful sessions with clients. It has been a huge learning experience for me and also a big positive change in my life. 

Over all I have loved it.

I feel really grateful that I can do it. 

If you are not familiar with what Reiki is, it is a Japanese healing art. It is done by placing hands above or lightly on the body and bringing divinely guided life force energy into the person's body to assist in their healing. 

I like this list of some of the benefits of recieving Reiki. 

 This year of 2016 I have felt like I needed to take some additional steps to share my music, share the gifts that I have, share the knowledge that I have learned and share the  network of talented and knowledgeable holistic health care practitioners that I know. 

These are some of the reasons I am building a new website.

As I have searched and worked toward a greater degree of health and happiness in myself I have met so many wonderful healers on the way. 

This website is to share information about them as well as me.  

We all have our own strengths and specialty.  

So with my Reiki business, I have been very rewarded as I have had the courage and faith to work on people that I don't know and even harder, work on people that I do know. 

My intutive and empathic gifts grow as I use them to help others. 

Right now Music has taken a back seat to the Reiki work. My new website will have links to my music and pictures and the option to listen and buy my songs. It's kind of split 50 / 50 between the holistic healing aspect of what I love and do and the music that I create. 

I'm sure I'll figure more of this out as I go. 

I don't know exactly what I'm doing but I have an idea. 

That's a little scary... or maybe a lot scary. 

I do know I can't just sit here and hide in my house. I've tried to hide, but to do nothing because I'm scared of what others might think of me is more misserable than just doing what I do and sharing what I have and taking the risk that not everyone will understand.  Not everyone will be cheering me on and reasurring me that what I am doing is good. I'm going to have to be ok with that. 

I need to get out and be heard and let myself be found by the people that could benefit from what I have because what I have is good.

This is all a part of my adult development and growth... right? 

We are not done growing and learning when we reach our twenties.

 It is a never ending process and growth can be freaky. 

At least it freaks me out sometimes. It also is the best thing ever! I'm so happy for the ways that I've grown and the things that I've learned. I'm so glad that I am an ever changing and ever expanding being. 

Woohoo!

Thanks for reading.

Have a lovely day, where ever you are.
